heartbroken capricorns

Do capricorns bounce back quick or do they fret over ex relationships and never heal.

I made a decision in my mind that I lost the best thing I ever had and might as well never bother to date again. Is that normal for a capricorn

I understand this is your first heartbreak.

You'll be thinking compulsively about your loss and crying for the next few months. That's normal, don't try to fight it. How do you handle it afterwards, it's entirely up to you.

You can choose to continue avoiding other activities, men and life in general, while spying on your ex.

Or, you can remember the time BEFORE you met him and some of the dreams you had. Tell yourself that what happened is for your own good and the best is yet to come. Engage your mind in any activity that gives you satisfaction, from money saving, to body building, to studying, traveling, etc. Find a new friend, get a new haircut, plan your next holiday. Keep yourself busy and you'll be surprise how quickly your sorrow will fade.

I went through a few heartbreaks in my life and I'm getting better at it. My first one...I've been a cookiemonster to him afterwards...never again! The last one happened 10 months ago and it was really painful, because I liked him very much. I'm in a happy relationship now, with a man that declared his feeling for me recently. I almost never think about my ex, but if I do so, it's always with a smile.

I think that is a normal reaction for anyone.

For me, it depends on the circumstance, the quality of the relationship, reason for the breakup, etc.

I need to waller in it for a while. Feel the shock, shed the tears, feel the depression, talk to one or two friends, mull it over, analyze every tiny detail, figure out what my part was so I can learn from it, start focusing on what I'm NOT going to miss and eventually climb out of it. A rebound helps your self esteem and ego, but it's really not fair to the person you're rebounding with.

I think, though, capricorns have the reputation for moving on quickly, but I think it's a farce. I think we feel as bad as anyone else would, for as long as anyone else would, but I think we hide our pain very well. We are stoic and put on a fake persona that we're okay, even if we're not. I think we have a tendency not to want to burden people with our problems, so we don't unless we're asked. Of course there is that one friend we will talk with, but that's about it. Everyone else thinks we're cold and already moved on, when the truth is we either hide it or bury it.

Take as long as you need, sweetie. It will get better. Just take it one day at a time.

What helps me the most is focusing on the things I won't miss and coming up with a plan (which might be as simple as eating ice cream or as involved as sprucing up my social life).
